Thank you for the reply. This engine does not really have an exploded view. It has a photo of the parts looking from directly overhead. The mounting mechanism is not viewable.
May just do what I have done with other engines. Keep removing parts until it falls apart. Or a second option is to just forget about repairing the smoke unit. Everything else works wonderefully.
If anyone has a contact at Lionel that could send some detail on how this engine is put together I would appreciate the efforts.
